You need a tclkit -- download it from:

http://www.equi4.com/tclkit.html

And you need Tcl/Tk installed, along with BWidget and SNIT (SNIT is
usually part of the tcllib package).

This program displays a bar graph of the activity on a select network
interface. It monitors /proc/net/dev and considers the delta bytes
transmitted and bytes received each second for the selected device(s).
